Song of the Wind: From Making Together — Sea, Migration, Labour, and the Work of Living Together documents and reflects on a process of field research and artistic collaboration undertaken between 2022 and 2026, beginning in Wando, Korea, and continuing through the Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Portugal. Rather than presenting these places as separate case studies for testing a single model of collaboration, the book connects them as a route along which questions emerging in...

Brin...

Incomplete Collaboration: Asymmetrical Responsibility in Art and Society examines how artistic collaboration unfolds under unequal social, institutional, and temporal conditions. Challenging idealized notions of participation, collectivity, and shared authorship, Sunyoung Oh argues that collaboration is rarely sustained through equal labor or equal consequence. Instead, it is shaped by asymmetry: uneven access, uneven recognition, and responsibilities that remain differently with those inv...

What accounts for the persistence and spread of "commoning," the irrepressible desire of people to collaborate and share to meet everyday needs? How are the more successful projects governed? And why are so many people embracing the commons as a powerful strategy for building a fair, humane and Earth-respecting social order? In more than fifty original essays, Patterns of Commoning addresses these questions and probes the inner complexities of this timeless social paradigm. The b...

Two hundred years ago, Sir Stamford Raffles established the modern settlement of Singapore with the intent of seeing it become ‘a great commercial emporium and fulcrum’. But by the time independence was achieved in 1965, the city faced daunting problems of housing shortage, slums and high unemployment. Since then, Singapore has become one of the richest countries on earth, providing, in Sir Peter Hall’s words, ‘perhaps the most extraordinary case of economic development in the history of t...
